My creations over the past ten years have been made using lithography, a long technique, requiring heavy installations but offering extremely fine renderings. It is the knowledge of stones, of acid preparations that allows me to reach a unique mode of expression. I perform all the gestures of the lithographer from A to Z in its traditional form. Lithography in the 21st century has found a new lease of life through unique creations.

My research innovates by seeking new possibilities, lithography has made it my artistic identity. For me, it is the vector of a thought that is elaborated in time, in superposition, with a little chance.

Ephemeral, fragility, life, space and movement are my major themes. My lithographs are the result of this "adventure". After a long journey through abstract spaces, I return to the figure and drawing, the emptiness and the line will make my lithographs vibrate. The sensitivity of each person will react differently to an intimate image.
